Q. Is your jewelry Sterling Silver? 

A. Our jewelry is typically made with solid Sterling Silver, Argentium Silver (a superior choice to Sterling Silver), Solid 10K or 14K Gold, and occasionally vermeil (gold over sterling silver), solid Platinum, Stainless Steel, or plated base metal. Everything that contains any type of metal will be clearly marked. If you are unsure, please send us a message and we will be happy to help :)

Q. Can you mount a pearl I have already?

A. Yes. We ask that you send us a picture of the pearl prior to sending it in. You will be invoiced for the mount only which is the listed price less the price of the pearl (actual discount varies depending on pearl type).

Q. Do you ship with insurance?

A. ALL packages are shipped with third-party insurance that protects against loss or damage during transit. Issues with any packages should immediately be reported to Real Deal Pearls either via Facebook messenger or via email. As insurance is purchased through a third party, USPS will NOT be able to file the claim - Real Deal Pearls needs to file the claim. You can reach us on Facebook messenger here: m.me/realdealpearls or via email here: info@realdealpearls.com In the event of damage, please keep ALL PACKING MATERIAL and send photos of the damage. We very rarely have to file a claim, but accidents during shipping sometimes happen and the insurance company needs photos to process the claim. 

Q. Does your jewelry come with a warranty?

A. We stand behind our jewelry. Our quality control is extremely high. We warranty against manufacturer defects for 6 months and pay return shipping if there is an issue with craftsmanship. Out of the three thousand pieces+ we have made and shipped, less than half of one percent (about 10 pieces total) have had any issues that required a repair. All orders come with a care card. We suggest you follow the care instructions carefully. Pearl jewelry is delicate and requires special care. 

Accidental damage, damage caused by customer negligence, theft or loss is NOT covered.
